My Fellow Bloggers.....

 If you know MajorJennifer and her dog Wilma, you will see a resemblance in the Tank image today.  Wilma always has her tongue out....
Tank usually does not.  
I finished one Cherry Tree sock yesterday.  
There is a whole lot of knitting going on as my new work schedule is feast or famine.  When you are Resource team or Float pool, you work more when the census is high and you don't work at all when it is low.   This is a big change for me. If you are wondering how I am doing off the night shift, wonder no more.  I'm lovin it!
My fellow blogger Donna over at QUIET LIFE often posts landscape images.  Fireman and I were out in the country on Sunday and the sky was all Feather and Fan....


I can give a few other fellow blogger shout outs today:

Channon: Did you like the First Lady's boots?

Araignee:  You have me thinking about mother/baby gifts. 
I am thinking matching hats would be easier than matching socks....

and Finally, 
to all of you who blog, 
A part of each of my day is enjoyed when I sit down and read about your part of the day!

Sweet, sweet picture of your cat! And the "fan and feather sky"...fantastic!

I watched the inaugural proceedings yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it all. Loved Michelle Obama's outfits! But liked looking at all the women's choices for attire.

Wow that sky is amazing. I am reminded that "there is nothing new under the sun." Most of the patterns we knit are naturally occurring designs. Beautiful!!

So glad you are enjoying the new schedule!

For some reason I seldom like the First Lady's clothing choices but I loved the First Daughters outfits!! Maybe it is the brighter colors that do it for me.

Tank's coat complements the sock perfectly. He is such a sweetie.

Glad you are enjoying your new schedule even though it is erratic.

Knit on, my friend!

Tank is doing a great impression of Wilma. LOL

Your sky picture is beautiful. I'd say the weather is about to change from the look of those clouds.

Love Mrs. Obama's boots, but not so much the dress.

Did you see Jill Biden's book? Freaking awesome. Love your sock, although I have given them up for life I am proud of you who knit them.
Hugs,

Love the kitty picture! It would save SO much time to coordinate all my knitting to match the cats, but as they're both black and white, it would probably never work. But all the cat hair.........

Oh I enjoy hearing all about your day too! I love that image of the sky! I used to know the technical names of that kind of cloud and cloud formation, but the information seems to have slipped away from me. I LOVE it when kitties stick their little tongues out, so cute!

I liked the First Lady's boots very much. But, then, I am a boot girl to my very soul.

Liked THAT she wore boots, and loved her day dress, but the rest of it... not so much. Love Tank and the Tank-inspired sock.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
